    Yikes!!! Pretty good wind late today. Visibility wasn't very good either with the cloud cover and sunset approaching. I didn't keep my power up as much as i should have on landing approach. The result was almost ugly...phew....

            I have not done that yet, but it has been done. Seriously though, I would love to try a set up to fly from the cockpit FPV. I spent hours and hours on PC based combat flight simulation. I honestly believe I could do it. If I could only figure out how to use my ole combat joy stick instead of my radio, that would be sweet.

                  I don't have pictures of flying videos at the moment, that's something I'm working on. I do have a few pictures of my workshop though for anyone who may be interested.

                    Wow! Nice shop, Martin. I'd be too embarrassed to post pictures of mine. It is quite a mess. I've got too many projects going on all over it. :)

                      Oh Martin..........yes you ARE dating yourself:rolleyes: with pics of some antiquated radios. I too happen to have a gold Kraft and a black MRC laying about(packed in a box in the top of barn) versus being on display to confirm how long ago my early years in the hobby really was.

                        Managed 6 flights today after work at my Bellevue Iowa flying site. Was going to film some flights, but camera battery wasn't charged. So here's a flight there from a couple weeks ago that i believe i hadn't posted.

                          Very Nice flight! Now if that was me, with all those light poles around me. I'd have hit one, I seem to gravitate to trees, poles, anything in the flight area. Well, I have to say; all these models are looking fantastic. Keep up the great flying! Matt customer service.

                            Ha ha, the radio said; "I'm a bad girl, then a loud slap! That's hilarious, so I'm guessing you can record or add your own speech on these transmitters. I better get with the times! I've heard of this, but never done it. Enjoy! Matt Customer Service

                              Hard to believe the great fall weather we're having here in Iowa. 20+ flights logged today between the P-38, F-86 and P-51. Suppose to be just as nice tomorrow. Batteries charged and ready!! Light winds 6-10mph most the day. This flight was before sundown and winds had died down to >5mph.

                                        Yeah that Lon is one lucky buggar to have a facility like that to hang out at and fly from.
                                        Their club house is a two story building which is damn near bigger than the house I live in.
                                        Lon.....how does your club get away with not having a big X at the ends of the runways as a notification to full size that it is not a viable strip??
